To solve the problem $\frac{6 \times 10^8}{3 \times 10^4}$, we will divide both the coefficients and the powers of 10.

Step 1: Divide the coefficients

$\frac{6}{3} = 2$

Step 2: Subtract the exponents (using the property of exponents $\frac{10^a}{10^b} = 10^{a-b}$):

$10^8 \div 10^4 = 10^{8-4} = 10^4$

Final Answer:

$2 \times 10^4$

So, the answer is $2 \times 10^4$ in scientific notation.
